   wp-admin/install.php. It is not a 404 error, the page is on the server it jsut
   stays blank. See : [http://www.alexbodowd.com/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php](http://www.alexbodowd.com/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php)

 * Recheck your database information see if you have got them in wp-config.php
 * Try adding this in wp-config.php see what error it displays.
 * `define('WP_DEBUG', true);`

 * Ok I see that you have problem connection to database check if you entered right
   info and check with your host what you need to use for host

 * govpatel,
 * 000webhost has no support, it’s free hosting. You’ll be lucky to get an answer
   from them. However you’re right about database.
 * laesir,
 * You should change localhost to correct server name. As I remember correct server
   name should be like: mysql[number].000webhost.com
 * You should access your account there and you’ll see that info in the right part
   of the window along with your domain name, stats and other stuff.
 * Don’t forget to delete “define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true);” line after you fix issue with
   database server name.
